Hey there!!
Recursive formula :
... a( n ) = a ( n - 1 ) + 7
The first term is 12
To find the second term, we will need to substitute 2 in place of ' n '
2 term :
... a( 2 ) = a ( 2 - 1 ) + 7
... a( 2 ) = a( 1 ) + 7
We know a( 1 ) = 12
... a( 2 ) = 12 + 7
... 19 is the second term and we will need to use this to find the other terms.
Hope my answer helps!
12c=22
6c=11
c=1 5/6
20c=33
c= 1 13/20
5/6 is about .83
13/20 is .65
12 chocolate bars for $22 is about $1.83 each
20 chocolate bars for $33 is $1.65 each
The 20 chocolate bars for $33 dollars has a better unit rate and is a better buy.
To find the volume of a container, you simply multiply: L(ength) x B(ase) x H(eight).
In total, you should get a volume of 1078in^3 (the bigger container) plus 175in^3 (the smaller container on top of the bigger one). The answer is 1,253in^3.
Hope this helped! :)
